yup and it was quick for a change too.

of course I am using GAIM to connect but you people are all nuts.

What's GAIM

GAIM

Free as in beer and as in speech. conects to all messenger services (tho u don't get all the bells and whistles)

at the very LEAST it will help in diagnosing your problem.

PS... just for u i will try the windows version myself :)

i took melly's advice and i'm using GAIM now. talking to uncle liam, in fact.

I just signed in without a problem

u may find u lose some of the more interesting features of msmess itself, but it's an infinitely less evil a[lication. And i have fook all choice anyway since oddly enough MS don't make a linux version.

(actually I have about 30 to choose from but Gaim is my chum)

i enjoyed our insightful discussion. we must do it again sometime.

Not using GAIM, but had no problems all night!

It must be a setting, I should never have reformatted.

Bloody computers

copy the picture, and paste into paintbrush, then 'cut' the bit you want and paste into an empty paintbrush, and 'save as'

and for fooks sake dont post the last pic

Glad your still alive Johnny, I was worried for a bit on Sat

No worries ,i WON'T be posting ANY pics!!!

I have the distinct impression I've already seen the document in question because I seen to recall saying a very simmillar thing recently :D

As for GAIM/MSN..your MSN has windowscancer, that's why GAIM works and it doesn't. There's some idiotic thing that you will never see or be able to fix deep in the bowells of some user friendly registry key called something logical and simple like

H-KEY/LOCALMACHINE/shoftware/currentversion/macroshaft

(that URL goes on for a while, we'll come back to it if anything interesting happens)

Because somebody asked ME to post it (assuming it's the same thing) hence, something to do with me. Next time I get a random request from someone, I will not of course make it my business to censor them. And I would LIKE to think I did think twice for exactly the same reason as you.
